After pj's, milk, story time and brushing his teeth, we told Liam to go to bed and of course he crawled into his Thomas bed! Kevin was hesitant, I convinced him to let Liam try.
So we said our good nights, tucked him in and told him to stay in his big boy bed until mama comes to get him in the morning (Kevin will be away early tomorrow morning or it would be until dada comes in).
We blew kisses and left the room. Liam cried and cried. Kevin and I headed over to the baby monitor with the camera. Liam continued crying. Then he got out of bed and cried at the door.
We went back in and reassured him he was loved, hugged, kissed him and put him back in bed. Kev left, I stayed and watched him lay there chewing on his toothbrush (darn molars!). Then I slowly backed out of the room. When he tried to get up I told him "no you go night night!" When he was completely laying down and calm, I left.
In seconds he was at the door crying. He cried for maybe a minute then he was quiet. We couldn't see him on the camera or hear anything on the monitor. So we let it be thinking he was asleep on the floor by the door.
I watched a short program while Kevin worked then we decided to head into his room to put him back in bed. We entered and heard snoring but couldn't see him. Looked all around the room before I saw a little head tucked into the corner of the room..... Laying in his big boy bed!
I turned to Kev and said "he's in the bed!!!!" We quickly exited the room, stood at the door and I cried while Kev looked like I felt... Somewhat sad, but super proud! And we just said this lil guy wouldn't be ready for this for a long while. Sure surprised us! Let's hope potty training is this easy, haha!
Mr. Liam I am so so sad to let go, but so proud of you, I've never felt this type of pride in my entire life. You're truly a unique and brave little man. Bye bye to my baby, welcome to our big boy. Mama's off to adjust to that idea.
Will update tomorrow on how it went overnight! ;)
